Ervin sells vintage cars. Every three months, he manages to sell 13 cars. Assuming he sells cars at a constant rate, what is the slope of the line that represents this relationship if time in months is along the x-axis and the number of cars sold is along the y-axis?

Respuesta :

Answer:  [tex]4.33\text{ cars per month.}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ervin sells vintage cars. Every three months, he manages to sell 13 cars.

[tex]m=\dfrac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}[/tex]

If time in months is along the x-axis and the number of cars sold is along the y-axis

Change in months : 3

Change number of cars : 13

The slope of the line that represents this relationship will be :-

[tex]m=\dfrac{\text{Change in cars}}{\text{Change in months}}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{3}=4.33333\approx4.33\text{ cars per month.}[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the line = [tex]4.33\text{ cars per month.}[/tex]
